BTS comprising of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook took some time off as a group in 2022 to focus on their solo projects. Explaining the reason behind this big change, RM said, "My team was on my hands until 'Dynamite' but I feel that I have lost the control from 'Butter' and 'Permission To Dance', What we talk about and what message we deliver is very important for the song, but it seems like that we've lost it."
"As a human being, I have pretty changed from 10 years ago. I should have grown and become mature by having my own time and thinking myself a lot, but busy schedules of BTS have made me not to be mature for 10 years," he added.
According to RM, the band, somehow, lost its direction. "We have to do our role in some way for the world as a global idol, but it did not gave me a time to think. I have lost the meaning of my team, and I don't know where I and my team are going anymore. I became a rap writing machine, and my role was over when I translated the rap lyrics to English. I thought my team lost the direction and wanted to take a rest, but I felt guilty to say this. Our fans raised us, but I felt like we could not repay them," RM shared.
Meanwhile, RM enlisted in the military on December 11, 2023. His discharge date is set for June 10, 2025.
